Overview

The SHINING WHX132D-PT825.5-HOT UHMW represents the pinnacle of performance within SHINING's Welded Chains product line, engineered for the most extreme high-capacity conveying applications where both elevated temperatures and hygienic handling of food raw materials are critical. This premium heavy-duty double strand welded conveyor chain is designed to deliver unmatched strength, cleanability, and throughput in large-scale grain drag conveyors and silo feeding systems. By integrating two parallel strands of the robust WHX132 chain connected by a massive, abrasion-resistant UHMW scraper, it delivers double the conveying capacity, exceptional tensile strength, superior thermal stability, and smooth surfaces for effective cleaning, maximizing productivity in the most intensive grain and food raw material handling facilities.

Features

• Double Strand, Heavy-Duty Construction: As part of SHINING's high-performance welded chains, it features a robust, precision-welded double strand (D) design, offering superior stability and load distribution for the most severe service conditions.

• Doubled Ultimate Tensile Strength: Utilizing two parallel WHX132 chains, the assembly achieves a combined Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of 800 kN, providing immense strength to withstand the extreme loads of high-capacity, long-distance conveying.

• Large-Width, Abrasion-Resistant Scraper: Central to the design is an 825.5mm wide, thick UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) scraper bar, offering an exceptionally large contact area, low friction, and outstanding wear resistance to move more material efficiently while minimizing product damage.

• Hygienic Design with Compliant Scraper: The UHMW scraper material is a compliant polymer suitable for food contact applications. Its smooth, non-porous surface prevents material buildup and is exceptionally easy to clean and sanitize. Note: The chain sidebar, pin, and bushing components are constructed from high-strength alloy steel for durability and are designed for conveying food raw materials. For applications requiring direct food contact with all metal components, please consult SHINING for specific material options.

• High-Temperature Resistance (up to 140°C): The HOT UHMW formulation is specifically engineered to maintain dimensional stability, mechanical properties, and wear resistance at continuous service temperatures up to 140°C. This makes it perfect for conveying grains retaining residual heat from drying processes or for systems requiring frequent high-temperature sanitation with hot water or steam.

• Doubled Conveying Capacity: The combination of dual-chain drive strength and the wide 825.5mm UHMW scraper enables significantly greater material throughput—effectively doubling or more the capacity of a single-strand system—dramatically boosting overall system output and efficiency.

• High Tensile Strength & Large Pitch: Engineered for maximum load-bearing capacity, featuring a 153.67mm (6.05") pitch in each strand for stable, high-volume material transport.

• Precision-Engineered Components: Utilizes heat-treated alloy steel sidebars, pins, and bushings for maximum durability, impact resistance, and extended service life.

• Optimized for High Loads: The double-strand design provides superior stability and alignment under heavy, uneven loads, reducing wear and maintenance requirements.

• Industry-Standard Compatibility: Designed around the proven WHX132 components, ensuring reliable performance and ease of integration into demanding conveying systems.

Primary Applications

• Ultra-high-capacity grain drag conveyors and mega silo feeding systems in grain processing and handling.

• Conveying heated oilseed meals in the conditioning/pressing process within vegetable oil production (e.g., rapeseed/canola oil, palm kernel oil).

• Horizontal and slightly inclined main conveying lines in large-scale grain export terminals, feed mills, and flour mills.

• Bulk handling of high volumes of food raw materials, abrasive grains, and oilseeds (such as wheat, corn, soybeans, barley, and rapeseed/canola).

• Systems conveying materials that retain residual heat post-drying (e.g., from grain dryers), or those requiring frequent high-temperature sanitation cycles (hot water/steam cleaning).

• Applications where space constraints or system design necessitate a single, high-capacity conveyor line replacing multiple standard lines, especially where easy cleaning and material integrity are important.

Key Distinctions from Single Strand WHX132 Series:

• Performance Tier: The WHX132D is the ultimate high-capacity solution within the WHX welded chain family, designed for applications where single strands cannot meet the required throughput, load, or stringent operational environment demands.

• Design & Performance: Features a double-strand construction that doubles the ultimate tensile strength to 800 kN and integrates an extra-wide 825.5mm UHMW scraper, enabling material throughput that is multiple times greater than a standard single-strand chain.

• Application Scope: Optimized for the most demanding, highest-capacity grain handling applications, such as main trunk lines in large terminals, where maximizing throughput on a single conveyor line is critical for operational efficiency.

• Environmental Superiority:Specifically engineered for challenging environments involving elevated temperatures (up to 140°C) and where hygiene is a concern. The double-strand design offers enhanced stability, while the easy-clean, high-temperature resistant UHMW scraper supports operations in food raw material processing applications that require effective sanitation, providing a robust solution for heavy-duty, hygiene-sensitive conveying.
